Peck Park & Santa Fe Dam

[rrlg11]

So i figure since the last two posts ive made only had 1 response each, and a load of views, that if i keep posting things and come out of being a watcher of the forums to a poster of the forums, i wont have that problem again. So here it is. Sunday afternoon after the rain had passed, i headed out to peck park first. mostly walked around it because the water level rose an incredible amount. was there two weekends ago, and was able to walk across the trickle of water left in the little stream connecting the two lakes, but on sunday it was up to almost the top of the bank there like 5 to ten feet. so a lot. there was a good amount of fishermen (like 5) but those 5 were taking up the only fish-able spots since the water was up so much. walked around for about 30 min, and made a few casts, but decided to head over to Santa-Fe dam. go there, and headed to my spot, talking to a few people fishing, none had caught anything. got to the spot, and fished for about 20 minutes with a rapala, with not hits, so i switched over to my "luck" to go lure. about 5 to 10 minutes later, bam fish on. landed a pretty small LMB, but hey a fish is a fish. took a picture, and let the guy go. fished for a while more, using my go to lure and bam another fish on. This one felt much bigger, and it was, but it was a real fighter, i fought it for a decent amount of time, didnt just drag it in, and landed it, and this one was a decent bass out of Santa Fe Dam. i was fishing with my girlfriends dad, and at this point hes dismayed, so i switch rods with him so he can have the lucky lure, and about 15 minutes later he has a fish on and he lands it and its a beautiful fish. it also inhaled the lure, and was bleeding. we were afraid it wasn't going to make it, but we got it back in the water, and off he swam, but ended up comming up to the surface, and after a few minutes of struggling, he finally swam away. it was a good and beautiful day to be fishing!
